Although you are right about unreasonable deadlines, we as programmers are also to blame for :- a) Not understanding estimation and scheduling, hence producing woefully optimistic schedules. b) Not communicating to management. I know they're Micro$oft Press but I would suggest reading the work of Steve McConnell who has written 4 brilliant books on the subject of Software Engineering. Not dry academic tomes but practical, readable, useable books. No I'm not related to him or M$ in any way :)
